The flight of years began, have laid them down

In their last sleep: the dead reign there alone.

So shalt thou rest: and what if thou shalt fall

Unnoticed by the living, and no friend

Take note of thy departure? Thousands more

Will share thy destiny. The tittering world

Dance to the grave. The busy brood of care

Plod on, and each one chases as before

His favorite phantom. Yet all these shall leave

Their mirth and their employments, and shall come
